A young man took a drugs overdose hours after saying he was '150 per cent sure' he wanted to die, an inquest has heard.

Dusan Filip Ivor Vrhovac Tjader, 24, had been depressed after the death of his adoptive father, James Tjader, Cardiff Coroner's Court was told. In a statement, his mother Claire Warwick said

Dusan had tried to commit suicide before. But three weeks before his death on July 19, 2005, Dusan, of Habershon Street, Cardiff, promised he would not take his life. In a note left in his room, he said: 'My soul will finally be at rest. It's nobody's fault I've decided to take my life. Everybody's been great to me.'

Pathologist Andrew Davison said the cause of death was heroin and alcohol toxicity. Coroner Mary Hassell recorded a verdict that Dusan took his own life.
